Comment 4 reasons why USB may replace floppy (Score 1) 1049
I agree with the idea that the floppy is going to become less and less used as time goes on, as more and more people start to get / use USB key chain (thumb drive, jump drive, what ever you want to call them).
This is why I believe they will become the "next floppy":
1. I'm a teacher and I frquently see more and more students saying stuff like "My printer was busted can I use this (a USB key chain drive) to print it off your printer?
2. If your transporting art projects of any sort (music, photo shoped pictures etc) han the key chain drive is MUCH better tool than a floppy disc.
3. Other files such as drivers are also to big to fit on a floppy, but would be dumb to waste a CD on... Thumb drives are perfect for this.
4. really forget full people do attach USB drives to their key rings or wear them arround their neck... (I'm talking again about students here, as well as other teachers.)
